  2. 21. The Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control : Psychometric evidence and comparison with upper limb prosthetic outcome measures

    Author : Helen Lindner; Liselotte Hermansson; Ann-Christin Eliasson; Ann Langius Eklöf; Helena Burger; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; capacity; comparison; icf; myoelectric control; psychometric evidence; upper limb prosthesis;

    Abstract : Evaluation of outcomes using validated prosthetic outcome measures (OMs) is a current priority in upper limb (UL) prosthetics, and OMs with psychometric evidence toward UL prosthesis users are thus necessary. The “Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control” (ACMC) is a tool that assesses the ability to control a myoelectric prosthetic hand. READ MORE

  4. 22. Galactosaminoglycans - Role in Brittlestar Limb Regeneration

    Author : Rashmi Ramachandra; Dorothe Spillmann; Barbara Mulloy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Chondroitin sulfate; Dermatan sulfate; Brittlestar; Regeneration;

    Abstract : Regeneration is, in simple terms, ‘to re-grow’ damaged or lost parts of the body (e.g. cells, tissues and organs) and is a natural phenomenon occurring throughout the life of an organism. The regenerative capacity varies in the animal kingdom. READ MORE

  5. 23. Perception and control of upper limb movement: Insights gained by analysis of sensory and motor variability

    Author : Dmitry Domkin; Mats Djupsjöbacka; John Jeka; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; proprioception; kinaesthesia; position sense; movement sense; position-matching; velocity-discrimination; correlation; uncontrolled manifold; variability; synergy; upper limb; motor control; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Chronic neck-shoulder pain is associated with impairments of proprioception and motor control. Thus, assessment of proprioceptive and motor function may be powerful tools both for research and clinical practice. READ MORE

  6. 24. Living with recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy : affected young adults’ and parents’ perspectives, studied througha salutogenic framework

    Author : Anna Carin Aho; Katarina Hjelm; Gerd Ahlström; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic diseases; LGMD2; muscular dystrophy; parents; salutogenic; sense of coherence; young adults; Vårdvetenskap; Caring Science;

    Abstract : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis, using a salutogenic framework, was to develop knowledge about experiences and perceptions of living with recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and its influences on health, from the affected young adults’ and their parents’ perspectives.Methods: A qualitative explorative and descriptive study design was used.

  7. 25. Genetic studies of congenital upper limb anomalies

    Author : Tobias Laurell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the work reported in this thesis is to improve epidemiological and genetic knowledge of congenital upper limb anomalies (CULA). To accomplish the specific aims of each paper several different methods and approaches have been used such as register studies, array comparative genome hybridization, Sanger sequencing, exome sequencing and functional studies using Lacz enhancer assay, Zebrafish morpholinos and computational transcription factor binding site prediction.
